Thank you for the time and energy you devote to this forum. What a great idea! I will probably lurk on here often and post with questions on occasion...

I am due May 14th with a baby girl and am planning a UC. I feel confident about my ability to give birth unassisted but am seeking guidance on what I might need to focus on in labor, or perhaps prior to. I am wondering if there is a specific message for me from my baby, angels, or other guides regarding this labor? I intuitively receive messages often but haven't honed in my skills on recieving CLEARLY... so they are often vague and I would love to get something to really hold on to! :-) Last time I had a hard time surrendering to the power and intensity (and perceived pain of labor)...

I want to tell you that I'm seeing things go very smoothly for you and very quickly as well! Just knowing that you had a hard time surrending last time is actually setting you up quite nicely this time to do so. You will be meditating on that closer to your birthing time. I do see some laboring in the water. I dont get the impression of you planning a waterbirth necessarily, but there will be some water laboring. Looks to me like the bath tub or shower. Seriously, things are going to move quickly and with great ease. I get the impression that you are not going to have much time to think about it anyways.
The main thing (and you know this) is trust. Obviously you have to have that if you are planning a UC. Make sure you are 100% completely there! A small bit of anxiety that comes and go is normal and is good. Shouldn't be niave or uneducated.
And knowing what you had a hard time with last time, meditate on letting that go this time.
Your baby is very excited to come Earthside I can tell you that. And she the way she is born is going to very much indicate her personality in life (in all very positive ways).

Good luck! Many birthing blessings to you!
